📚✨ At last night’s Mercer County BOE meeting, we were inspired by Bluefield High School’s Brianne McKinney and Tiffany Jones!
🌟 Ms. McKinney shared how she brings literature to life through creativity and collaboration. Her outstanding work has earned her an invitation from the WVDE to present at the S.A.I.L. Conference in Charleston this summer.
🌍 Ms. Jones spoke about her incredible opportunity in Washington, D.C., where she toured the National Archives and collaborated with social studies teachers from across the nation.
👏 Mercer County Schools is proud of our dedicated educators who represent our county with excellence at the state and national level! #MercerCountySchools #ExcellenceInEducation

A huge thank you to the Weatherford Fellowship Ladies Group at Kee Street United Methodist Church! They reached out to Mercer County Schools to ask how they could support our students. We shared that many of our families lack access to a working stove, making it difficult to prepare nutritious meals.
The group responded with incredible generosity, donating several brand new crockpots to help families cook warm and healthy meals for their children. This is a powerful example of our community working together to meet the needs of our students!

At tonight’s board meeting, leaders of The Network—Mercer County’s teacher mentor/mentee and professional development group—shared 2024-25 results and their WVDE state-level presentation.
